Beautiful work Gerhard. The combination of details and textures is really stunning.

Wieland's artistry is always a treat, and this knife is one more.

The guard on this is just an amazing play with form!

beautifull work!
Can you tell me what wrought iron is in German?
Can´t find it in any dictionary.
 
thank you all for taking time to post!
I`m glad you like my knife- in spite of the somehow ´unusual´ grip- material.

@hengelo_77,
old wrought-iron is named here in germany:´puddeleisen´
the name comes from the man (the puddler), who had to stir the smelt with an iron-rod for reducing the cast-iron with too much C into wrought- iron with max. 1,7%C
WIKIPEDIA offers some infos here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puddling_(metallurgy)

best regards

That's a very impressive knife! You can see just looking at it that it took a lot of work. You must have amazing patience.

Very nice I have yet to see a knife by Wieland that I did not just love but the guard on this one has got me in awe
